Fonterra is backing the Government's goal of being predator free by 2050. Lisa Payne is head of co-operative affairs for the Bay of Plenty region and she joined The Country Early Edition's Dom George for a chat about this stance.
Calving is the big focus in the Bay of Plenty at the moment and of course it has started raining but Payne says it's great to see the calves despite the soggy weather.
Lisa also gives us an update on the 431 campaign and gives details on how to get hold of a Farm Source farmer support package.
